Hello
Is there a script where i can disable the mouse completly? No movement or clicking?

I tried this

+ Code Snippet

-- Third Person Perspective Mode
function thirdperson_init(e)
end
function thirdperson_main(e)
setcameraoverride(e)
end

But get a error message.

IIRC DeactivateMouse only works in first person, in third person the camera is controlled by the mouse, it's probably embedded in the player control script somewhere. I keep meaning to rewrite that script but never seem to get around to it, I need to figure out how much of the player control logic is still in the engine (for example the bit that detects that the player is below the terrain is still hard coded in the engine and it keeps getting n my way!).

Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

I tried this script i found in a another post:

+ Code Snippet

function rclick_view_init(e)
imgLoc2 = LoadImage("scriptbank\\menu\\cursor.png")  
   Loc_Sprite2 = CreateSprite ( imgLoc2 )
   SetSpritePosition(Loc_Sprite2,-1000,-1000)
end
function rclick_view_main(e)
if g_MouseClick == 1 or g_MouseClick == 0 or g_MouseClick == 3 then
 ActivateMouse()
 SetSpritePosition ( Loc_Sprite2 , g_MouseX , g_MouseY )     
elseif g_MouseClick == 2 then
 DeactivateMouse()
end
 
 
end

This worked well in both 1st and 3rd person. I hope you or somebody else manage to figure out how to deactivate the mouse completly for the 3rd person, its crucial for making 2,5d platformers.

I dont know why that should be, but it worked!!!

Although i can still click the left and right button on the mouse. When i hold down the right button and walk my character begins to dance. I have to figure out what that is haha

Thanks smallg!
